Schatten
Technique Type	Transportation
User	Quincy

Schatten (自己韜晦 (シャドー), Shaten; German for "Shadow", Japanese for "Concealing One's Position") is a Quincy transportation technique.

Description

This technique enables the Quincy user to open a pathway between two different dimensions through a shadow. By placing his or her hand on the ground and then swiftly swinging his or her arm outward, they are able to greatly extend the resultant shadow to manifest a towering portal shaped like the Quincy Cross, which is large enough to allow several people to exit simultaneously.

As demonstrated by Asguiaro Ebern, this technique can also be used in the heat of battle. This works by forming a shadow that is shaped like the user and then causing it to swiftly overtake the user, allowing him or her to teleport wherever they desire.

As later elaborated by Raian Getsueikirite, the technique's actual mechanics work by decomposing the Reishi that makes up the boundaries between the dimensions, thereby allowing the user to cross through. Mayuri Kurotsuchi also reveals that this technique is impossible to use in a location that has no shadows. While, normally, this would be impossible as shadows exist everywhere, through technology, locations can be created that are void of shadows.
